After Virginia approved the mandatory vaccination for 11-12 year old girls for attendance at school in March, the headline read, “Merck to invest millions in Elkton, VA plant.” So obviously the passage of the legislation was rewarded by the investment in the business community (and likely promised in advance in secret). Vaccinations are not monetary investments when they result in personal lifetime injuries and the resulting trauma to families who have children who are harmed by what the government promised were the safest possible medicines for a greater good. What greater good is there here? It’s a personal disease, not contagious in school. Why is the government involved at all in this, but for monetary contributions from drug companies? White Lies , available at Amazon.com and by order from your community bookstore, reveals other details of the misleading information given to parents who have to make that decision along with critically-acclaimed story, hard-to-put-down and inspiring. Parents need to read all they can on this issue before making decisions that will affect their children for years.

This vaccine is only effective against a slim portion of the variants of the HPV virus. That means that one still has a high probablity of contracting HPV while thinking one is immune after vaccination. Also, this particular vaccine is linked to sterility and some other not so nice side effects.

Another argument against this is purely political. Now, I understand why vaccines like small pox, whooping cough and the whole list of childhood vaccines are required. It is for the good of the whole sometimes at the expense of the few though that is not ‘proven’ in some minds. The HPV virus is spread only through a specific activity to a portion of the overall population. One could prevent this spread by controling one’s own activity. That is the kicker. Are americans able to control their activity? Why not according to the government put in place to serve us! We are considered by law makers too stupid to do what is good for ourselves.

We need to be careful of the freedoms we give up to solve real or trumped-up problems. What is next? Maybe enforced medication to go with the already mandated mental health screening. What might make one mentally ill? Oh, the inability to conform to political correctness….we are a socialist state and most have yet to figure it out.

Sorry for the digression from topic. We should not allow state mandated vaccination of our children. If you live in Texas then you should explore ways to opt out. If you cannot do that within the governent school system then you should seriously consider removing your children from the system.

Megan: I support education and choice, not against vaccines per se. I never said DPT vaccine caused autism, but it does cause seizures, well-documented. Also there are medical studies that show that links accumulation of mercury from vaccines to autism. AND the chelation therapy to remove the mercury in autistic children’s blood has been amazingly successful in removing developmental delays and allowing autistic children to speak and interact like normal children. Too coincidental for me.
The point is HPV has been tested on adult women for years, only for short time on very few 11-12 year old girls. That’s one reason why the fainting occurences in the girls receiving the vaccination are so much frequent. Dr. Diane Harper, formerly of Dartmouth Medical school, who was actively involved in the testing, has spoken against the mandatory vaccination of young girls in national media. She ought to know. I am hoping to meet with her in New Hampshire when I am there in mid-April for book events for my novel White Lies: A Tale of Babies, Vaccines, and Deception. Let’s not take what the doctors say without some reflection and investigation when there are opinions that differ, and lots of examples of after the fact dangers from ‘approved’ drugs.
